Waking up early for a Saturday we were like kids at Christmas. We jumped in the car and headed into Ely. Ely has been lauded by many as one of the top 10 outdoor focused towns in America. We first ran into Ely while planning a canoe trip to Quetico Provincial Park, Canada almost 10 years ago. We hoped our expectations weren\u2019t to high. They weren\u2019t.<\/p>\n
As we pulled into town we were accosted by a full swing arts and crafts festival. JACKPOT! What a great thing to find. We had a great time touring probably 200 small vendors of every type. I especially enjoyed watching the kids play in inflated balls on this small pool. Looked like a ton of fun.<\/p>\n
Tearing ourselves away from the crafts festival we went in search of a long-term campsite. After 6 or 8 campgrounds (it\u2019s always the last place you look) we scored twice in one day. Seven miles east of Ely we found a gorgeous campground on Fall Lake with electric hookups, (mostly) hot showers, 4 BARS OF LTE COVERAGE and all within a 10min drive of main street Ely (Did I mention $26\/night?). The campground had around 25 walk-up sites that were available on a first-come-first-served basis. We had to get up here early on Sunday to score a site!<\/p>\n
